## Executive read

### BLUF

December is a thin month. November’s Trilobite file is not re-numbered. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or educational-kit safety action was located in the window. Directive 2001/95/EC (3 December) is horizontal product-safety law, not a kinematic SKU page. CPSC **02-060**, 11 December, is a Lawn-Boy walk-behind fuel-tank page and is out of class.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, EU Rapid Alert notices under Directive 92/59/EEC, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated December 2001.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** 02-060 names walk-behind Lawn-Boy SilverPro / GoldPro fuel-tank cracks. Official product language is not a robot vacuum and not a robotic mower. It is not numbered.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Trilobite units, if Swedish shops opened on the November “couple of weeks” clock, plus Automower / Robomow and AIBO ERS-210 / 311 / 312 / 220 inventory, can already be in dwellings and yards. Official silence this month is not empty stock.

### 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)

## No numbered signals

This month produced **zero** in-window spine-grade signals. November’s Trilobite company primary is not re-numbered. Directive 2001/95/EC (adopted 3 December; Rapid Alert weekly-report numbering as later used is not yet the 2004 series) is horizontal law and is not numbered. CPSC 02-060 (11 December; about 90,000 walk-behind Lawn-Boy units) is out of class. Roomba is not imported.

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

## Forward indicators

1. A dated Swedish or other-EU Trilobite shop-open notice, or any official Trilobite injury, stair-fall, or fire file.
2. Any CPSC / Health Canada / EU Rapid Alert robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
3. Any Sony AIBO lithium-ion / transformer official safety page.
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = December 2001 only. **Excluded:** Directive 2001/95/EC, 3 December 2001 (horizontal GPSD; not a robot file); CPSC **02-060**, 11 December 2001, Lawn-Boy walk-behind fuel tanks ([CPSC 02-060](https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2001/cpsc-lawn-boy-inc-announce-recall-of-power-mowers)); November Trilobite (already graduated; not re-numbered). No CPSC AIBO / Automower / Robomow / Trilobite numbered page dated December 2001. No Roomba (2002). Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
