## Executive read

### BLUF

February is a negative filing. No official consumer-kinematic recall, injury count, or merger decision was published in this window.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The CPSC, Health Canada, OPSS, Safety Gate, METI, and BAuA indexes as opened for this reconstruction show no February 2023 consumer-robot action.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Amazon–iRobot remains pending. The UK CMA invitation to comment has not yet opened (that is 6 April).
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Silence in February is not a safety finding. It is the absence of a dated official page.


### Analytic labels
- **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record
- **Assessment** — analytic judgment
- **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed
- **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap

### Source grades
- **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed
- **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated
- **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums)

## Forward indicators

1. STIHL or any other outdoor-dock thermal page (the March file is not yet public at this cutoff).
2. CMA or Commission paper on Amazon–iRobot.
3. Any pool-robot charge-path notice.
4. Any companion-cloud support-duration disclosure.
5. Any named pediatric robotic-mower case.

> **Collection integrity.** Same spine as January. Nothing graduated. Excluded: product launches and earnings color without a regulator or manufacturer safety page; leftover 2022 Husqvarna Automower AWD and iRobot Clean Base files (outside window). No forum claim merited annotation.
