ABSTRACT:
A safety cap for a dispenser shaped to prevent choking thereof, particularly in small children. Specifically, the cap includes a lid portion including an attachment portion for securing the cap to the dispenser, and a flange portion extending radially from a lower portion of the lid portion to prevent the cap from becoming a choking hazard when removed from the dispenser. The flange portion is also shaped to complement a corresponding portion of the dispenser. Preferably, the flange portion is shaped to extend from the lid portion of the cap at an obtuse angle therefrom wherein the dispenser includes an upper surface which is also at the same angle. The safety cap of the present invention may also include a rotational assistance member which is attachable to the lid portion of the cap for frictionally engaging the flange portion.
