A tamper evident closure for a can such as a spray can is provided with a frangible pull-tab which extends upwardly into the cover from the base and has an outwardly extending grip member which extends along the pull-tab for a sufficient distance to permit initial outward pulling and tearing of the pull-tab along the frangible lines as the grip member is pivoted upwardly. The pull-tab is tapered at its upper end to facilitate removal.
