(AP) -- HARPER WOODS - A woman says she was kicked out of a Detroit area Target store because she was breast-feeding her child in the electronics aisle. Mary Martinez said she was stopped Sunday by a security guard after she began feeding her 4-week-old daughter during a visit to the store in Harper Woods.
Her husband, Jose Martinez, tells WJBK-TV the couple was told by the security guard that the act was "against the law" and told to leave. Jose Martinez said as a Detroit police officer, he knew that was not true. Harper Woods police responded, and the couple left the store.
Target officials told WJBK that they regret the incident. They said breast-feeding is allowed in their stores, but police were called because there was concern for the safety of their guests.
