Abstract

See full text

An anti-theft tag for use with a product having one or more ridges includes a base for supporting an EAS sensor, a body including a product engagement portion having an opening, a locking member, and a detachment section. The locking member engages and secures the tag to a product having a ridged portion during use. The locking member can flex in a first direction as the product is received within the engagement member, and locks into engagement with the product to prevent removal of the tag. Detachment allows removal of the tag by cutting the detachment section and allowing the opening to be expanded and the product removed.
