## Executive read

### BLUF

March 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. Military PackBot and UAV/UUV combat copy is out of class.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated March 2003.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC Roomba, Electrolux Trilobite, Husqvarna Automower, Sony AIBO, or LEGO Mindstorms page dated this month was located. iRobot remains private.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** First-generation Roombas and EU Trilobite / Automower units remain in homes and yards. Official silence is not empty inventory.

### 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. No March CPSC, Health Canada, UK, or manufacturer kinematic page was located. Walk-behind and ride-on mower pages, if any, are out of class and are not numbered. Military PackBot / UAV / UUV employment is out of class and is not imported.

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

---

## Forward indicators

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

> **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2003 only. No CPSC Roomba / Trilobite / Automower / AIBO / educational-kit numbered page dated March 2003. No public RAPEX weekly report exists yet. PackBot Najaf dates and REMUS Umm Qasr are military and stay off this file. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
