## Executive read

### BLUF

September 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. iRobot’s 13 September Dirt Dog Workshop Robot ($129.99; irobot.com from 15 September) is a shop-sweeper catalog page and is not numbered.

### 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 September 2006.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Dirt Dog is a Roomba-shaped sweeper without a vacuum motor: counter-rotating brushes, larger bin, hard-floor / shop-carpet use, $129.99. AP / NBC and the company page are a SKU add. They do not change a harm or trust path.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Discovery-class Roombas (AP’s “2 million sold” in the same copy) and Scooba units remain in homes. Official silence is not empty inventory.

### 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)
