The fastener assembly comprises a plastic fastener comprising an elongated filament having a first end and a second end, a transverse bar disposed at the first end of the elongated filament and a paddle disposed at the second end of the elongated filament. The paddle is shaped to include a recess. The fastener assembly also comprises an electronic article surveillance (EAS) security device which is disposed within the recess of the paddle. A cover is mounted over the recess so as to trap the security device within the paddle. A method of manufacturing the fastener assembly can be accomplished by continuously molding a length of fastener stock to form a plastic fastener having a recess formed therein, disposing a security device within the recess of the plastic fastener and mounting a cover over the recess so as to trap the security device within the fastener.
