ABSTRACT:
A container assembly has a lid which connects to an open ended container. The container has a wall which defines a cavity therein and has an outer surface with a plurality of outwardly directed teeth and at least outwardly directed thread. The teeth are located intermediate the threads and a top of the container wall. The lid has an outer wall with inwardly directed teeth which cooperate with the outwardly directed teeth on the exterior surface of the container. The lid also has a first opening in a ridge which allows at least a portion of a tamper indicator to extend therethrough, the tamper indicator, when installed, is biased toward a center of the lid in a first position so that a leg is brought into contact with the teeth on the container. The lid may not be removed without breaking a portion of the tamper indicator. Additionally, the teeth and leg may be configured to allow for the lid to be tightened relative to the container in the first position, but not loosened.
