## Executive read

### BLUF

December is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or educational-kit safety action was located in the window. Holiday Scooba loaner-review copy is not a company ship primary and is not numbered.

### 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 December 2005.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** November’s priced IPO is not re-numbered. AP-style Scooba loaner notes circulating late month ($399; company loaner) are reviews, not a regulator page and not a dated iRobot ship census. Later-year 10-K “December 2005 volume distribution” language is a later import and is not used.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Roomba Discovery / Scheduler-class, Automower, and Robomow units remain in homes and yards. Holiday Scooba inventory, if any, is still without an official unit count in a December 2005 company primary.

### 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. May’s Scooba sneak preview and November’s IRBT IPO remain the year’s two numbered control-path files. No December CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, UK, or manufacturer kinematic page was located.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any official iRobot Roomba or Scooba recall (none found through this cutoff).
2. A dated 2006 Scooba volume-distribution notice that is a company or regulator primary, not a later import read back into 2005.
3. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = December 2005 only. **Excluded:** November IRBT IPO (already filed; not re-numbered); May Scooba sneak preview (already filed); late-December Scooba loaner reviews (AP / Telegram-style $399 copy; loaner, not a company ship census); any 2006 Form 10-K sentence that dates “December 2005” volume distribution (later import; not used); WowWee Robosapien restocks and V2 holiday-shelf talk (not signals). No CPSC Roomba or Scooba page. No invented Roomba CPSC. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly report. No named robotic-mower fatality. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
