## Executive read

### BLUF

January is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or educational-kit safety action was located in the window. CES 6–9 January is show filler without a harm, sold-trust, recall, or docket hook.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, EU Rapid Alert notices under Directive 92/59/EEC, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated January 2001.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** CES 6–9 January (Las Vegas) is a digital-television and consumer-electronics show. A camera or companion claim at a show is not a sold trust control and is not numbered. Electrolux’s Trilobite is not a shop SKU this month.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Sony AIBO ERS-210 units (on sale from December 2000), Husqvarna Automower and Friendly Robotics Robomow machines, and LEGO Mindstorms kits are already in homes and yards. Official silence is not a finding that none were running.

### 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. CES 6–9 January is launch filler and is not numbered. No January CPSC, Health Canada, EU Rapid Alert, UK DTI, or manufacturer kinematic page was located. Roomba is not a 2001 SKU and is not imported.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / EU Rapid Alert robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
2. Any official Electrolux Trilobite injury, stair-fall, or fire file (none found through this cutoff).
3. Any Sony AIBO lithium-ion / transformer official safety page.
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = January 2001 only. **Excluded:** CES 6–9 January show copy (unveil, not sold trust). No CPSC AIBO, Automower, Robomow, Trilobite, pool-robot, or Mindstorms numbered page dated January 2001. No EU Rapid Alert robotic-mower notice. No Roomba (2002). Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
