## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THAT DURING CLIMB, THEY RECEIVED A LAVATORY SMOKE INDICATION ON THE EICAS.  A LIGHT SMOKE WAS PRESENT IN THE CABIN.  DECLARED AN EMERGENCY & RETURNED TO FIELD.  THE CREW REPORTED THAT THE ODOR PRESENT SMELLED LIKE DE-ICING FLUID & THAT THE ACFT HAD BEEN DE-ICED PRIOR TO TAKEOFF.  THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  PERFORMED ENG RUNS & OPERATIONS CHECKED THE PACK SYSTEM.  NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED & THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
