Abstract
A tamper resistant container that can be readily opened by an elderly person but is difficult for a young child to open comprising a first container for holding toxic substances having a threaded section for engaging a cover and a friction region, a cover having a threaded section for engaging the first container to close and seal toxic substances in the first container, a second container located outside the first container, and including means to permit free rotation of the first container when the cover on the first container is rotated in a direction to unscrew the cover to thereby thwart a young child from opening the tamper resistant container. The second container includes means to prevent rotation of the first container with respect to the second container when the cover is rotated in a direction to unscrew the cover by the user squeezing on specific regions on the outside of the second container so as to prevent rotation of the first container to thereby permit the user to unscrew the cover from the first container.
