## Executive read

### BLUF

March’s only class+spine primary is Stiftung Warentest’s 23 March robotic-mower test: child-foot and lying child-arm dummies remain in the safety program, and the Stiftung says many units still fail them. Gomez housekeeping is not numbered. No official recall dated this month was found.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Stiftung Warentest dated the online test **23 March 2026**. Safety checks include a crawling-child foot dummy (standard) and a lying child-arm dummy beyond the standard.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No CPSC, Health Canada, OPSS, or Safety Gate consumer-robot action dated March 2026 was found.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** A lab dummy is not a March pediatric case. The sense function that treats a small object as grass remains the residual.

### 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

## 01. Stiftung Warentest — March 2026 robotic mowers still fail child-limb dummies

*Event / publication dates: 23 March 2026 (Stiftung Warentest online); test issue 4/2026*

**Product class.** Robotic lawn mowers

**Verified record — [Fact — A1 / B1]** Stiftung Warentest published a robotic-mower test dated **23 March 2026** covering **14** units, including eight new wireless (camera / satellite) models. Safety program as written on the opened page: electrical safety; stop-button; adult test foot; a crawling-child foot dummy per the safety standard (whether it reaches the blade); and, beyond the standard, a lying child-arm dummy (beech rod, 4 cm diameter, 55 cm length). The Stiftung states many units do not recognize adult and child foot dummies in time, and advises that children and pets must not be unsupervised near a running mower. [Stiftung Warentest, 23 March 2026](https://www.test.de/Maehroboter-im-Test-4698387-0/). Contemporaneous named copy: [cleankids, 23 March 2026](https://www.cleankids.de/2026/03/23/produkttest/stiftung-warentest-maehroboter-ohne-begrenzungsdraht/93820/).

Named wireless set in contemporaneous coverage includes Anker eufy E15, Anthbot Genie 600, Dreame Mova 600, Ecovacs Goat O800 RTK, Einhell Freelexo Cam Plus 600, Husqvarna Automower 305E Nera, Mammotion Yuka mini 600, Worx WR208E. Per-model safety grades sit behind the paid table and are **not quoted here as Fact** beyond what the free page states.

**This is a lab test, not a March injury.** No brand-named March pediatric case was found.

**Threat landscape.** Same class pattern as *test* 4/2020 and 4/2022: a child-shaped limb that is not a standing adult foot still meets the blade. Wireless navigation does not, on the opened page, close that gap.

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

**Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] The 23 March dated test and the dummy geometry are A1 from the opened Stiftung page. [Uncertainty] Brand-level “ran over the arm” counts in unpaid secondaries are not treated as A1.

**Opportunity.** The paid table, or a brand-named 2026 pediatric case, would map the dummy to a SKU.

**LRRK relevance.** Sense / Move / Act. Lab: dummy-limb. Watch: EN 50636 series and later official actions.

**Confidence.** High on date, 14-unit frame, and the dummy method. Moderate on unpaid per-model fail lists. Low on 2026 market uptake of any fix.

## Forward indicators

1. First numbered CPSC, Health Canada, or OPSS consumer-robot recall of 2026 (Wybot is still ahead).
2. Gomez protective order, Amazon posture, and any settlement conference outcome.
3. PA AG v. Digital Dream Labs, GD-24-010283 — judgment, consent, or receivership primary.
4. Any brand-named 2026 pediatric mower case.
5. Paid Warentest per-model safety table if a later official page cites it.

> **Collection integrity.** Dictionary audit. One signal added (missed Warentest laceration primary). *Gomez v. PetPivot* 1:25-cv-05622 March conference / case-management / 13 March answer remain docket housekeeping and are not numbered. Walk-behind / ride-on mower actions, if any, are a different product class. Official silence on CPSC/Health Canada/OPSS this month is not clearance. Five-signal form is not padded.

*LRRK — security assurance for systems that sense, move, and act.*
