Abstract
Disclosed is a single piece integrally formed safety closure for a container including a body portion designed for fluid tight engagement with the neck and finish of a container and a depending portion including a passageway which extends into the container. A valve is integrally formed in the side wall of the closure and opens upon insertion of a dropper-dispenser. The valve closes upon removal of the dropper, thereby preventing spillage or inadvertent removal of the contents of the container.
