Abstract
A closure includes a one-piece integrally molded plastic shell having a shell portion that is engageable with a container such that said closure is adapted to function in cooperation with the container in a first predetermined mode of operation, such as a child-resistant mode of operation. The shell portion is selectively removable by a user such that the closure is then adapted to function in cooperation with the container in a second predetermined mode of operation different from said first mode of operation, such as a non-child-resistant mode of operation.
