Abstract
A tamper-evident, tamper-resistant closure for an open neck container having a detachable closure cap that is adapted to open and close the dispenser end. A breakaway tether is integrally molded to the closure cap and a first closure ring which fits within the closure cap and around the container neck. A second tether is integrally formed with the closure cap and a second closure ring. The breakaway tether will rupture if this container is tampered with. Also the breakaway tether may be broken when the contents of the container is to be used. The second tether securely maintains the closure cap attached to the main closure.
