## Executive read

### BLUF

September 2016 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no spine-grade companion ship or cancel dated in the window was located. Jibo’s 9 September international-refund deadline is the tail of August’s cancel, not a new September action. Cozmo’s 16 October date and Jibo’s October promise are out of window.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, EU Safety Gate, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated September 2016.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Jibo’s overseas refund cutoff (9 September) is the deadline from the August email, not a new cancel. It is not numbered here.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Retail CHiP units may already be in stores (July date-lock was 30 August); a September product review is not a new spine signal.

### 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. August’s Roomba 960 and Jibo international cancel, and October’s Cozmo ship, are out of window and are not previewed as Fact.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Cozmo 16 October US ship + SDK.
2. Jibo October US/Canada window.
3. Any RAPEX/CPSC robotic-mower twin to the April–June European actions.
4. Any 2016 CPSC robot-vac recall — none found through September.
5. Zenbo / BUDDY still unshipped.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = September 2016 only. **Excluded:** 9 September Jibo refund deadline (August cancel); Best Buy Blog 16 September CHiP review (retail color, not a new official or launch Fact); October Cozmo; 2017 Reuters maps; Kuri CES 2017. No CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX numbered consumer-robot page dated September 2016 found. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
