## Executive read

### BLUF

December 2013 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or kit safety action was located. CPSC 14-046 and 14-045 (10 December) are Toro TimeMaster / TurfMaster and Exmark commercial *walk-behind* 30-inch mowers. Roomba 800-class units may already be in homes; that is not a December safety file.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX weekly reports, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated December 2013.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** CPSC **14-046** (10 December 2013, 2013 Toro TimeMaster / TurfMaster 30-inch walk-behind; blade can break; ten blade-break reports; no injuries stated) and CPSC **14-045** (same day, 2013 Exmark Commercial 30-inch walk-behind; same blade-break hazard) are not robotic mowers.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Official silence on Roomba 800, Braava, EV3, Automower 308/320/330X, and Miimo this month is not a finding that none were running.

### 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. Toro 14-046 and Exmark 14-045 are walk-behind. No 2014 product pages are imported.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
3. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff).
4. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.
5. A dated consumer-home companion SKU or safety action (a hospital or enterprise kiosk is not a home SKU).

CPSC 14-045 Exmark Commercial 30-inch walk-behind (10 December) — [CPSC](https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2014/Exmark-Recalls-Commercial-Walk-Behind-Mowers). No CPSC Roomba, robotic-mower, pool-robot, companion-robot, or educational-kit numbered page dated December 2013. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly-report line located for 2013. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
