## Executive read

### BLUF

August produced no official consumer-robot recall and no dated consumer injury primary. Tesla’s 19 August AI Day humanoid concept is not a consumer kinematic product and is killed. The Clean Base Canada dock recall is still the only official safety file live.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No August 2021 CPSC, Health Canada, OPSS, or Safety Gate consumer-robot action was found.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Clean Base RA-74597 remains posted. Still no CPSC twin.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Tesla Bot / Optimus as announced 19 August 2021 is a stage demo, not a home, yard, companion, or educational product. Out of scope.


### 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)

## 01. Clean Base still live — Tesla Bot is not a consumer filing

*Event / publication dates: Health Canada RA-74597, 21 December 2020; still posted. Tesla AI Day 19 August 2021 (killed as consumer).*

**Product class.** Robot vacuums / mop combos (dock electrical)

**Verified record — [Fact — A1]** Clean Base: unchanged. Liquid ingested by a Roomba i7+ can short the Clean Base PCB; “does not involve the Roomba i7 vacuum itself”; no Canada incidents or injuries as of 8 December 2020; 11,971 Canada units; free fused cord or replacement dock. [Health Canada](https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/irobot-clean-base-roombar-i7-robot-vacuum-recalled-due-electrical-hazard). No August update. No CPSC page.

Health Canada’s later Husqvarna page will say AWD units were sold through August 2021. That sentence is a 9 December 2021 disclosure and is not treated as an August Fact.

**Threat landscape.** Unchanged. Official silence after 8 December 2020 is not a clearance.

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

**Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] The official lane is still empty of 2021 actions. [Uncertainty] Unreported dock incidents remain unpublished.

**Opportunity.** First official 2021 consumer-robot recall (the Husqvarna AWD file will open in October).

**LRRK relevance.** Lab / Watch: RA-74597.

**Confidence.** High on the page and on the absence of an August official consumer-robot action.

## Forward indicators

1. First 2021 official consumer-robot recall (Husqvarna AWD is not yet public).
2. Clean Base still-live status.
3. Roomba j7+ / Astro / aibo events expected in September on the public calendar — not filed until they happen.
4. EN 50636-2-107 A3 national adoptions.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Honest signal count this month: **1**. **Killed:** Tesla Bot / Optimus (19 August 2021 AI Day) — not consumer kinematic electronics. **Killed:** ANSI/OPEI 60335-2-107-2019 as a 2021 adoption/enforcement item. **Killed:** Pertisau 21 June 2018 (search noise dated it to 2021; SN.at is 21 June 2018). **Killed:** 7 August 2021 Feldkirchen ORF three-year-old vs ride-on mower tractor — not robotic. **Killed:** industrial/military UAS. No August CPSC/OPSS/Safety Gate/Health Canada consumer-robot recall found. Forum empty.
