Dawsonville woman claims she was videotaped in Toys 'R' Us restroom

ATLANTA - A Dawsonville woman who says she noticed a video camera in the ceiling of an Alpharetta Toys ``R&#39;&#39; Us bathroom is suing the retailer for invasion of privacy. <br> <br> Tamara Perez says she noticed a hole in the ceiling above the commode while visiting the suburban Atlanta store on March 21. <br> <br> According to her lawsuit, Perez quickly left the women&#39;s restroom and asked her husband to investigate. Walter Perez moved a ceiling tile and found a video camera with a transmittal device, according to the lawsuit. <br> <br> ``She was just overwhelmed, shocked and mortified this could happen, especially in a Toys &#39;R&#39; Us, where lots of children would be in that bathroom,&#39;&#39; said Perez&#39;s lawyer, Audrey Tolson. Tolson works for the Atlanta law firm whose partners include famed attorney Johnnie Cochran. <br> <br> A spokeswoman for Toys ``R&#39;&#39; Us, which is based in Paramus, N.J., said the camera was not supposed to be there and that the company ``took immediate action&#39;&#39; when it was found. <br> <br> ``The camera was not one of our surveillance cameras, nor was it placed with the knowledge of anyone associated with Toys &#39;R&#39; Us,&#39;&#39; spokeswoman Susan McLaughlin wrote in a statement. ``There is no evidence that anything was recorded or broadcast. This appears to be an isolated incident, and we continue to work with police.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Perez&#39;s suit asks for unspecified damages for invasion of privacy and emotional distress. Perez also claims that the traumatic incident led to health problems because she was eight months pregnant at the time. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Fulton County State Court.
