PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A faulty bathroom smoke alarm forced a Horizon Air flight to return to Portland International Airport shortly after takeoff on Monday.

The Oregonian reported a Horizon CRJ 700 jet which took off for San Francisco International Airport at 6:15 a.m. returned to Portland after the alarm sounded and landed shortly before 6:45 a.m.

No one was injured. Passengers and luggage were transferred to another plane.
