  • an upper closure portion securable to the container; and

    a lower closure portion attached to the upper closure portion and securable to the container, where the lower closure portion includes a plurality of gaps in the lower closure portion that have a smaller thickness than each other section of the lower closure portion, where the gaps are adapted to indicate tampering with the lower closure portion such that the lower closure portion includes visible damage when an attempt is made to disengage the lower closure portion from the container;

    wherein the lower closure portion includes a removable tear away portion above the gaps that partially encircles the lower closure portion and that allows the upper closure portion to be partially disengaged from the container without disengaging the lower closure portion, further wherein the upper closure portion remains engaged with the lower closure portion at a location where the tear away portion does not encircle the lower closure portion.
