## Executive read

### BLUF

April 2009 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall and no companion or toy-robot regulator page was located in the window. Husqvarna’s Automower 260 ACX SMS copy is a spec sheet. Ugobe’s Pleo bankruptcy is a commercial failure, not an official safety action. CPSC 09-204 is a canister floor cleaner and is out of class.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX weekly reports, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated April 2009.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** TechCrunch (23 April) and New Atlas (24 April) date Husqvarna Automower 260 ACX as a large-yard robotic mower that can SMS the owner on a fault. That is a feature launch, not a recall, injury file, or trust/safety primary. CPSC 09-204 (29 April; HMI / Filter Queen Majestic 360 canister; wiring overheat; 40 overheating reports, no injuries stated) is not a robot.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Ugobe’s April Chapter 7 filing (Pleo companion dinosaur; 2007 ship) is a company death. It is not a CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, or UK action and is not numbered.

### 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)

## No numbered signals

This month produced **zero** in-window spine-grade signals. Automower 260 ACX SMS copy, Pleo bankruptcy, and HMI 09-204 are not numbered. May is not previewed as Fact.

**Forum / community notes.**
- none found.

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff; 500-class is the live US SKU).
3. Any companion / toy-robot official action (CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, UK).
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = April 2009 only. **Excluded:** Husqvarna Automower 260 ACX SMS launch (TechCrunch 23 April / New Atlas 24 April; spec); Ugobe Pleo Chapter 7 (commercial; not a regulator page); CPSC 09-204 HMI Majestic 360 canister (29 April; walk-behind/canister, not robotic). No CPSC Roomba or robotic-mower numbered page. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly line. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
