Abstract
A container assembly is provided including a cover and a container. The cover is securely engaged to the container by means of a primary lock to prevent removal of the cover from the container during handling. A secondary lock is also provided between the cover and the container. The secondary lock can be disengaged only after disengagement of the primary lock. The cover is readily removed by an end user of the container assembly.
