1. A container assembly for a liquid product comprising:
- a container comprising a container body defining a container cavity therein and a container neck formed on the container body, wherein the container neck comprises a lip defining a container opening, wherein the container opening is in fluid communication with the container cavity, and wherein the container neck comprises a container neck minimum inner diameter and a container neck outer diameter;
a syringe comprising a syringe barrel and a syringe plunger movably engaged with the syringe barrel, wherein the syringe barrel comprises a syringe barrel side wall and a syringe barrel flange extending outwardly from the syringe barrel side wall, wherein the syringe barrel side wall defines a syringe reservoir and the syringe barrel flange defines a syringe barrel opening, wherein the syringe barrel opening is in fluid communication with the syringe reservoir, wherein the syringe barrel further comprises a tip aligned distal to the syringe barrel flange, wherein the tip defines a tip opening, wherein the tip opening is in fluid communication with the syringe reservoir, wherein the syringe barrel side wall comprises a syringe barrel side wall maximum outer diameter, wherein the syringe barrel side wall maximum outer diameter is less than the container neck minimum inner diameter, wherein the syringe plunger comprises a syringe plunger seal member and a syringe plunger shaft connected to the syringe plunger seal member, wherein the syringe plunger shaft comprises a first syringe plunger shaft end and a second syringe plunger shaft end, wherein the syringe plunger seal member is connected to the syringe plunger shaft proximal to the second syringe plunger shaft end, wherein the syringe plunger seal member is movably disposed in the syringe reservoir and frictionally engages the syringe barrel side wall to form a seal; and
,a closure operably connectable to the container, wherein the closure comprises a cap portion comprising an end wall and a peripheral skirt depending from the end wall, wherein the peripheral skirt comprises a peripheral skirt inner diameter, wherein the peripheral skirt inner diameter is greater than the container neck outer diameter, wherein the syringe plunger is connected to the end wall, wherein the cap portion is movable between a closed position closing the container opening and an open position opening the container opening, and wherein the syringe barrel is disposed in the container body and the syringe is enclosed by the container body and the closure in the container in the closed position and the syringe is removable from the container in the open position.
