I finally figured out to open it, transferred 8oz to another container, now is there a way to securely close it?

To close the lid, just put it back on, use your thumb & middle finger and squeeze the side until it pops to close.

My experience is the same as Meredith. My cap secures by just pressing it down. Should work for you unless you bent the cap up to much in which case you'll have to reshape it with pliers. Note that mine comes up with a slight pry using a table knife.Note that I have taste tested and this oil is as good as I've tasted after 30+ years of cooking Chinese.

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

The lid can be tricky, but once you figure it out, it's very easy and it stays very air tight. The lid of course is removed by pressing in the middle of it until it pops and then it easily lifts off. To put the lid back on, put the lid on the counter top so the inside of the lid (with the plastic insert) is facing up. Press down on the middle of the lid, returning the center to its original position. Then you are able to put the lid back on the can and press and it will snap securely in its position. Hope this helps.

The best way I have found to open these containers is to pinch the tab attached and pull directly up. If that doesn't work, I push the small connecting tabs down with one half of a tweezers or a sharp knife, then pull up on the tab.

Ruffy, Turn the top part of the spout lightly while holding the neck of the bottle and you should be able to release the pump part. Customer Care My Fragrance Store

I had the same issue. I pried the two halves apart with a small screwdriver. I was convinced that I would crack the plastic. Went very slowly and was able to open it. Good luck!!

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Well, you need to put significant force to open it. I have that problem too. Now I just don't close it tight so it can be easily opened.

I had some open but sealed it up in a plastic bag real tight. I used it 6 months later and it was fine.

If I remember correctly it's locked with the little silver bit on the front of the lid. Pull that bit out til the edge is flush with the rest of the lid. Hope it works/helps!

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

I used a coin to pry it open. Was difficult at first, but after I opened it once it was alright.

I believe Dawn has the right answer, but if you cannot open the top to remove the inner protective seal, flip the unit upside down and drill a series of small holes. Cover the holes you created with duct tape or place the container in a large zip lock bag when not in use. You should be able to find the instructions and precautions on the Internet.

You open it by gripping the device (I hold it at the bottom) and firmly pull it off the bottle. Easy peasy. The other answers basically say the same thing. This product really works.

Super easy!! Just slide your bottle inand zip it closed like a zip lock bag. The bottle will go in the middle with padding on each side.

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

You have to unscrew the lid, I prefer it this way so it doesn't leak once it's closed.

I wish I could help you with that. I had difficulty opening and closing it.
