## Executive read

### BLUF

March 2013 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no dated consumer-home companion or kit safety action was located in the window. The Honda Classic closes 3 March; Miimo remains a Europe-only SKU on the February Honda page.

### 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 March 2013.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No day-dated 2013 Braava / Mint European retail primary was located in this window. iRobot’s Q1 close is 30 March; the earnings page that names a Braava distributor launch is an April document and is not previewed as Fact.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Automower-class and Miimo-class machines are already in some EU yards; official silence this month is not empty yards.

### 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. Honda Classic residual (through 3 March) is still a demo. April’s iRobot Q1 page is out of window and 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 educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
3. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff).
4. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.
5. A dated consumer-home companion SKU or safety action (a hospital or enterprise kiosk is not a home SKU).

> **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2013 only. **Excluded:** Honda Classic close (3 March) as a U.S. consumer launch (it is not). No day-dated Braava Europe retail SKU in March. No CPSC robot-vac / robotic-mower / pool-robot / companion-robot / educational-kit action dated March 2013. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
