The present invention is a foam soap dispenser (10) for push operation. The dispenser (10) houses a product bottle (18 and 18′), and the dispenser (10) includes lock-out members (12a and 12b) while the product bottle (18 and 18′) includes mating lock-out members (19a, 19b, and 19′) to ensure that the correct product is used with the dispenser (10). The dispenser (10) includes a push handle (13) that pivots on a pivot point (16) to dispense product when the push handle (13) is compressed. Pushing the push handle (13) moves the handle lever assembly (25 and 25′) components, which in turn activates a product outlet (23) to dispense the product. As the handle (13) is being compressed and released, a gap (22) is created and an anti-pinch member (14) helps prevent pinching of the hand.
