## Executive read

### BLUF

March is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion brick was located. A later CPSC page will say Dexter / Modular Robotics kit packs were *sold* from March 2018; that page is 30 April 2020 and is not a March 2018 Fact.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC, Health Canada, UK OPSS, or EU Safety Gate consumer-robot action dated March 2018 was found.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** CPSC **20-115** (Modular Robotics / Dexter Industries 9.6 V NiMH packs, 30 April 2020) is out of window and is not filed here.
3. **[Uncertainty]** A Dexter blog titled “Rechargeable Battery Packs & Smart Chargers Now Available” exists; the opened page has no independent March 2018 dateline. Sale-start is therefore not graduated.

### 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. Dexter pack sale-start is market color on a 2020 official page, not a 2018 recall and not a 2018-dated primary on the opened blog.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any first named EU child-vs-blade incident after A1.
2. Dated Jibo / Kuri distress.
3. Any 2018 official consumer-robot recall.
4. aibo US SKU.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = March 2018 only. **Killed as Fact:** CPSC 20-115 (recall date 30 April 2020; “sold … from March 2018 through January 2020” is a 2020 sentence). No independent 2018-dated Dexter sale-start primary was opened. Honda Miimo 2024 out of window. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
