The detector claims to detect smoke, carbon monoxide, natural gas, and monitor for temperature and humidity. The unit is black in colour.  The model number, product name and brand name can be found on the label found on the back of the product. 

  • Product: Modofo Tool 5 in 1 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector

  • What to do: Immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Modofo Tool for a full refund. 

Issue

The Residential Detectors Regulations require that smoke detectors, heat actuated fire detectors and smoke alarms in Canada meet the applicable Canadian standards. The product does not have a Canadian certification mark and it is unknown if the alarm operates in the presence of smoke, posing a potential fire hazard.

Health Canada reminds consumers that products that do not have a recognized Canadian certification mark may not meet Canadian performance standards and could fail or operate incorrectly. This could pose a risk to consumers who may not be alerted to a fire incident in their home. For more information on what to look for when purchasing a smoke alarm or detector, see Health Canada’s Consumer Information – When purchasing smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, look for a Canadian certification mark.

As of March 6, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injury in Canada.  

What you should do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Modofo Tool for a refund. Consumers should replace the recalled product with one that bears a Canadian certification mark

For more information, consumers can contact Modofo Tool by email at modofotoolservice@outlook.com

Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada. 

Health Canada would like to remind consumers to report any health or safety incidents related to the use of this product or any other consumer product or cosmetic by filling out the Consumer Product Incident Report Form
