## Executive read

### BLUF

May is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion brick was located. Warentest’s May *test* Heft reprints April’s online finding and is not re-filed.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC, Health Canada, UK OPSS, or EU Safety Gate consumer-robot action dated May 2018 was found.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The May Heft of *test* is the print twin of the 26 April Warentest copy already filed. It is not a new May Fact.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Kuri was still promoting a second ship wave in early June; May hiring tweets are not a safety 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)

## Forward indicators

1. Any first named EU child-vs-blade incident.
2. Dated Jibo / Kuri distress.
3. Any 2018 official consumer-robot recall.
