Narrative:

On climb out of cvg, received an anti-ice duct warning message. We ran the QRH procedure. The message stayed on. We decided to return to cvg for a precautionary landing. We held for about 25 mins to burn off fuel to be at our maximum landing weight. Landed with no incident. Icing conditions en route existed at the time of our flight, which made us return to cvg.
