## Executive read

### BLUF

Mozilla’s *Privacy Not Included* guide dates an Astro review 9 November and applies the warning label. The review is civil-society color on a rolling camera, not a regulator finding. No November official safety recall was found. The Amazon–iRobot HSR clock and Husqvarna AWD remain live.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Mozilla’s 9 November Astro page is a dated *Privacy Not Included* warning, not a recall or a docket.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No November CPSC, Health Canada, OPSS, ACCC, or Safety Gate *new* consumer-robot recall was found.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Astro’s patrol camera plus Amazon’s policy maze is the trust object Mozilla is naming. That is their assessment, not a November Fact of leakage.

### 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. Mozilla *Privacy Not Included* — Amazon Astro warning label, 9 November

*Event / publication dates: review date 9 November 2022*

**Product class.** Security / home patrol robots

**Verified record — [Fact — A1 / B1]** Mozilla Foundation *Privacy Not Included* product page for Amazon Astro Robot. **Review date: Nov. 9, 2022.** Warning: “*Privacy Not Included* with this product.” The opened page describes a device with cameras and microphones that “rolls around your house,” criticizes Amazon’s network of privacy policies as difficult to navigate, and distinguishes “Amazon doesn't sell your personal information” from Amazon’s use of data to target advertising. [Mozilla](https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacynotincluded/amazon-astro-robot/). The 2022 holiday-guide release notes that iRobot products had previously received “Best Of” marks and that iRobot is “pending sale to Amazon.” [Mozilla blog](https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/blog/mozilla-researchers-find-privacy-policies-for-seasons-hottest-connected-gifts-are-more-complicated-and-incomprehensible-than-ever/).

**This is not a regulator action, exploit disclosure, or incident count.** No November official finding that Astro leaked video.

**Threat landscape.** A rolling indoor camera whose maker is also a marketplace and an ad system. Mozilla’s object is policy opacity and targeted advertising, not a named physical harm.

**Forum / community notes.**
- none independently opened.

**Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] Dated warning label on Astro. [Inference — Moderate confidence] The same privacy politics will attach to Roomba maps if the Amazon deal closes. [Uncertainty] What Mozilla opened in Amazon’s document set is not independently re-audited here.

**Opportunity.** A privacy-authority opening, or a support-duration disclosure from Amazon.

**LRRK relevance.** Kestrel and Passport. Watch: Astro firmware and Ring patrol.

**Confidence.** High on the 9 November review date and the warning label. Low on unpublished Amazon data flows.

## 02. Carry — Amazon–iRobot HSR still open; Husqvarna AWD still live

*Event / publication dates: Second Request 19 September 2022; stockholder vote 17 October 2022; Husqvarna CPSC 17 February 2022; all still live*

**Product class.** Robot vacuums / mop combos; robotic lawn mowers

**Verified record — [Fact — A1]** No November HSR close-out or CPSC restatement found. Husqvarna 22-727 still posted. [CPSC](https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2022/Husqvarna-Recalls-All-Wheel-Drive-Robotic-Lawnmowers-Due-to-Fire-Hazard-Recall-Alert).

**Threat landscape.** Unchanged.

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

**Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] Both files still live.

**Opportunity.** HSR compliance date; Husqvarna uptake.

**LRRK relevance.** Watch.

**Confidence.** High on “still live.”

## Forward indicators

1. Any Roomba training-image or annotator story (a December MIT TR piece is still ahead and is not previewed as Fact).
2. HSR substantial compliance.
3. Husqvarna OTA completion.
4. Any official 2022 floor-vac thermal file.
5. Astro first named incident.

> **Collection integrity.** One new signal (Mozilla). Five-signal form is not padded. No November official safety recall. Do not write that Mozilla found an Astro leak. Forum empty.
