A child-resistant storage container comprising a sleeve having an end opening through which a container can be inserted and an aperture in a side thereof, and a container having outer dimensions substantially equivalent to the inner dimensions of the sleeve and slidably insertable therein. The container has at least one tab proximate a side of the container, the tab operative to automatically extend through the aperture in the sleeve when the container is inserted therein, thereby preventing the removal of the container from the sleeve unless the at least one tab is depressed while pulling the container from the sleeve.
