Summary:A protective safety container (10) for encasing toxic drug filled glass vials (18) is disclosed. The container includes a molded plastic body (12) that is shaped to conform to the shape of a vial to be protected. A plurality of spaced longitudinal ribs (32) are formed on the inner surface of the container body (12) that act to engage the vial (18) and hold it firmly in position, and also form a cushioning air space between the vial and the container. A molded plastic annular base (14) is adapted to be snap fitted into the body (12) such that the vial (18) cannot be easily removed once it is secured within the container. Disposed in the top (15) of the container is a small aperture (26) having a frangible disk (28) disposed therein. The disk (28) may be removed so that a hypodermic needle may be inserted into a stopper (19) in the vial (18) to withdraw the vial's contents. The aperture (26) is too small, however, to permit removal of the stopper itself. All of these features combine to provide a protective container for a glass vial which will prevent the intentional or accidental discharge of the vial's contents to the surrounding area.
