## Executive read

### BLUF

August 2009 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no educational-kit safety action was located in the window. LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0’s early-August retail refresh is a kit launch without a harm, trust, recall, or docket hook.

### 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 August 2009.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 (retail set 8547; color sensor; US shop copy around 1–5 August) is an educational-kit refresh. No CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX NXT page was located. It is not numbered.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Roomba 500-class units remain the live US robot-vac SKU; official silence is not empty floors.

### 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)

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff; 500-class is the live US SKU).
3. Any companion / toy-robot official action (CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, UK).
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = August 2009 only. **Excluded:** LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 retail refresh (about 1–5 August; kit launch, no harm/trust/recall hook). No CPSC Roomba, robotic-mower, pool-robot, or companion-robot numbered page dated August 2009. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly line. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
