## Discrepancy

AT 2000 FT GOT `SMOKE TOILET` EICAS MESSAGE AND DID AIR RETURN TO MSP.  FLIGHT 3272 RETURNED TO MSP AFTER DEPARTURE DUE TO A LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTOR WARNING.  THE CREW CALLED AFTER LANDING AND ACTUALLY SAID IT WAS A LAV SMOKE MESSAGE THAT WAS DISPLAYED RT AFTER T.O.  THE CREW STAYED IN PATTERN, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO MSP WITHOUT INCIDENCE.  F/A VERIFIED NO SMOKE.  REPLACED DETECTOR.  (K)
