Abstract
A lid is disclosed herein. The lid comprises a base comprising a peripheral edge and a skirt extending downward from the peripheral edge. The skirt comprises a pair of release tabs diametrically opposite from one another. Each of the pair of release tabs are defined by a first cut and a second cut within the skirt which separates the release tab from the remainder of the skirt. Each of the release tabs is hingedly connected to the base. Each of the pair of the release tabs extend upwardly from the base, opposite the skirt. Each release tab further comprises a latching protrusion extending radially inward from an inner surface of the release tab towards a central axis of the lid.
