Abstract
A pull tab comprises a tab body, a tang and a portion connecting the tang to the tab body. In the pull tab, which is attachable to an easy-open end container wall, the tang projects from the tab body such that upon attaching the tang to the container wall, the tang holds the pull tab against a central portion of the container wall to prevent excessive lifting of the tab body therefrom when the central portion is outwardly domed as a result of pressure in the container.
