## 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. DigitalLife’s Looj street is a $99 remote-control gutter cleaner without a harm or trust hook. ConnectR is a camera/mic/Wi-Fi *unveil* whose late-2007 pilot did not graduate as a sold retail SKU this month.

### 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 2007.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Looj (27 September; available immediately, about $99; wireless handle / three-stage auger) is a remote-controlled gutter tool. A “fewer ladder trips” marketing line is not a regulator file and is not numbered. ConnectR’s live video / audio / Wi-Fi claim is a show and pilot promise (“launches next year… $499”; select beta $199), not a dated sale.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Erector/Meccano Spykee, shown again this month, remains in the 2007 announce lane. A camera claim at a show is not a sold trust control.

### 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. DigitalLife 27 September (Looj sold as RC gutter filler; ConnectR still unpublished as a retail SKU; Spykee still unsold) is not numbered. August’s Roomba 500 catalog page is not re-dated.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. A dated ConnectR or Spykee *sale* — camera/mic/Wi-Fi in a dwelling, not a show page.
2. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
3. Any official iRobot Roomba or Scooba recall (none found through this cutoff).
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = September 2007 only. **Excluded:** iRobot Looj, 27 September ([Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2007-09-27-irobot-debuts-connectr-and-looj-home-bots.html); [CBC / AP](https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/new-robots-spy-on-home-clean-gutters-1.685006) — $99, available today; RC gutter; ladder still required; no official safety page); iRobot ConnectR same day (camera, mic, Wi-Fi, tilt/zoom; pilot “late 2007” / retail “early 2008”; a camera claim at a show is not a sold trust control); Erector/Meccano Spykee DigitalLife encore (still unsold; later 2008 street). Roomba 500 stays August catalog. No CPSC Roomba / Scooba / robotic-mower / pool-robot / companion-robot / educational-kit numbered page dated September 2007. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly report. No invented Roomba CPSC. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
