What is the purpose of the tamper-evident cap?
The tamper-evident cap ensures that the container has not been opened or compromised during storage or transportation, providing security for the contents.
Troubleshooting
Cap is difficult to open or close
Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. If the tamper-evident seal is still intact, it may require more force. If it is very stiff, check for any damage to the cap or container threads.
Container leaks from the cap
Verify that the cap is tightened securely. Check the integrity of the cap seal and the container's neck for any damage or defects.
Unpleasant odor inside the container
Thoroughly clean the container with a mild detergent and water, followed by a thorough rinse. Leaving the container open in a well-ventilated area can also help dissipate odors. For persistent odors, a diluted vinegar solution can be used for cleaning, followed by extensive rinsing.
Container appears warped or deformed
This may be due to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or improper storage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or excessively hot environments. Minor deformation might not affect functionality, but significant warping should be assessed for safety.
