## Executive read

### BLUF

November 2015 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot safety recall, no named injury, and no new camera/cloud primary was located. The California Energy Commission’s November iRobot charger settlement is an appliance-efficiency case, not a kinematic safety file.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX / Safety Gate, UK pages, and manufacturer recall pages produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics safety action dated November 2015.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** CEC–iRobot settlement (agreement 20 November 2015; $1,000,000; non-compliant small battery charger systems on robotic vacs sold in California) is energy-efficiency and labeling, not fire, shock-as-recall, laceration, or camera/trust. Excluded from the spine.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Official safety silence in November is not a finding that 980 / 360 Eye / Automower fleets were incident-free.

### 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. Excluded: California Energy Commission iRobot SBCS settlement (20 November 2015, energy/labeling, not a CPSC-class safety recall); walk-behind mowers; Anki cars.

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

## Forward indicators

1. LG or other live-view / home-guard vac if dated.
2. Any 2015 CPSC consumer-robot recall.
3. Any dated Jibo slip (December ship was the original promise).
4. Dyson US/EU date.
5. First RAPEX robotic-mower alert citing EN 50636-2-107.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = November 2015 only. No CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX / Safety Gate, or UK OPSS consumer-robot (vac, robotic mower, companion, educational-kit battery) action dated this month was located. Excluded: California Energy Commission iRobot SBCS settlement (20 November 2015, energy/labeling, not a CPSC-class safety recall); walk-behind mowers; Anki cars. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
