## Executive read

### BLUF

May 2014 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion-robot brick or docket was located in the window. WowWee MiP’s Best Buy start is a toy launch without a harm, trust, recall, or docket hook.

### 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 2014.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** WowWee’s January CES copy said MiP would be at Best Buy beginning May 2014 at $99.99. A first-ship toy without a regulator page is not a May signal.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Official silence is not a finding that robotic mowers were absent from EU yards this month.

### 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. WowWee MiP retail start is product-launch filler and is not numbered. June’s Pepper unveil is out of window and is not previewed as Fact.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any RAPEX robotic-mower blade or sensor alert.
2. Any CPSC / Health Canada robot-vac or STEM-kit battery file.
3. First dated *consumer-home* companion SKU or safety action (store kiosk ≠ home SKU).
4. Any official iRobot Roomba recall.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = May 2014 only. **Excluded:** WowWee MiP Best Buy start (toy launch, no harm/trust/recall hook). No CPSC robot-vac / robotic-mower / pool-robot / companion-robot action dated May 2014. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
