## Executive read

### BLUF

May 2013 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall or named injury was located. Husqvarna’s February copy promised Automower 308 / 320 / 330X “in stores at the beginning of May”; no May-dated in-store primary was opened. CPSC 13-187 is a riding Toro.

### 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 May 2013.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 26 February Husqvarna page remains the dated launch primary; a beginning-of-May retail promise is not converted into a May Fact without a May-dated “in stores” page.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** CPSC **13-187** (9 May 2013, Toro Z Master Commercial 2000 Series zero-turn *riding* mowers, 2012–2013; idler pulley / fuel-tank rub; fire) is not a robotic mower file.

### 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)

## 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 = May 2013 only. **Excluded:** Husqvarna 308 / 320 / 330X “beginning of May” in-store language (February primary only; no May-dated shelf page opened). CPSC 13-187 Toro Z Master riding (9 May; fire; not robotic) — [Toro / CPSC reprint](https://media.toro.com/Documents/safety/ZTR_fire_hazard.pdf). No CPSC robot-vac / robotic-mower / kit action dated May 2013. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
