If you are going to talk about tamper resistant products, it's important to ask the question why. Why use tamper resistant products? Is there really any need for them? What are the different types of tamper resistant products? I think the answer to the above questions are pretty clear, that yes, in this day and age we must take every precaution to keep our products safe and our families safe. To keep product theft down and prices for product down as well.

According to a report put out by the International Association of Chiefs of Police for product tampering, the following definitions have been officially established by the FDA under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1365.

1. Tampering-the alteration of a product, its label or container, with reckless disregard
for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or
bodily injury or to cause serious injury to the business of another person, or
an attempt to do so.

2. False information-communication of information that is false, and that the
communicator knows is false, under circumstances in which the information
may reasonably be expected to be believed.

With cases of product tampering going coast to coast, it's clear that it is a concern for every parent and therefore, a concern for every business.

With shrink (stolen product) continuing to increase in number and those willing to "slip" poisons into products, safety measures must be taken. That's what the next section will talk about, the different alternatives there are to allowing items to be stolen and tampered with.

With the clear need for tamper resistant items being established, let's turn our focus to ways and products that we can use for making our products tamper resistant.

Depending on what you are trying to protect, will depend on what product you'd like to have.

So, let's take a look at whats out there and what product will fit your needs.
