Abstract

A tamper-evident container closure (10) is provided and comprises a base (15) and a lid (20). The base and lid are connected together by a hinge (25) so that the lid can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The base is attachable to a container neck. Generally opposite the hinge the lid includes a retention member (35), the retention member includes or defines a window (39) and includes a retention portion for engagement with a cooperating portion on the closure and/or on a container neck for holding the lid in a closed position. The closure includes a tamper-evident member (40) at least part of which moves into or out of view with respect to the window to indicate opening of the closure.
