## Executive read

### BLUF

December is a thin month. Sony’s September page already said first US aibo deliveries would start this month; no dated unit-count or incident primary was opened. Voicebot’s 3 December Jibo recap is November’s withdrawal, not a new December Fact. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, no new brick notice.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC, Health Canada, UK OPSS, or EU Safety Gate consumer-robot action dated December 2018 was found.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Jibo’s 14 November withdrawal is not restated as a December event. The March 2019 funeral is not imported.
3. **[Uncertainty]** Whether any US First Litter body actually landed in December is not independently counted here.

### 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. September’s aibo US cart and November’s Jibo withdrawal are out of window and are not restated as Fact. A promised December delivery is not a December primary.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any dated Jibo server-kill notice (2019 — do not file early).
2. Anki 2019 continuity — do not import the April shutdown as a 2018 Fact.
3. Any brand named on the Pertisau child.
4. First 2019 official consumer-robot recall.
5. EN 50636 A2 — still ahead (2020).

> **Collection integrity.** Window = December 2018 only. **Excluded:** Voicebot 3 December recap of the November withdrawal (not a new event); Jibo March 2019 funeral; Anki April 2019 shutdown; CPSC 20-115; Honda Miimo 2024; promised aibo holiday deliveries without a dated ship primary. Year-end CPSC / Health Canada / OPSS / Safety Gate sweep found no 2018 consumer-robot numbered recall. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
