Returning home from holiday, Yossi and Jennie Adler and their 19-month-old daughter were due to fly from Miami to Detroit on 23 January, but after boarding the flight they were asked to leave the plane by crew and were not allowed back on.
Staff told them other passengers had been complaining about their odour.
"I said: ’Excuse me? I need to get home. There is no body odour on me,’" Yossi told NBC News.
