## Executive read

### BLUF

January is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, and no companion or educational-kit safety action was located in the window. CES talk is product-launch filler without a harm, sold-trust, recall, or docket hook.

### 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 January 2005.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** iRobot’s 6 January CES panel (Colin Angle on “Elusive Technologies”) and the Roomba Discovery “Best of” CES Innovations note are unveils / catalog. A show panel is not a sold trust control and is not numbered.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Roomba Discovery-class units, plus Husqvarna Automower and Friendly Robotics Robomow machines, are already in homes and yards this month. Official silence 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. iRobot’s 6 January CES copy (Roomba past one million units “last fall”; Discovery CES Innovations award; holiday leftover) is launch filler and is not numbered. CPSC **05-078** (4 January, Royal / Dirt Devil Sweeper Vac M083000) is a walk-behind battery upright, out of class.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
2. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff).
3. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
4. Any dated first wet-floor home robot with a company or named-newsroom primary.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = January 2005 only. **Excluded:** iRobot 6 January CES panel / Roomba Discovery award copy; WowWee Robosapien restock chatter (2004 SKU; restocks are not signals). CPSC 05-078 Dirt Devil Sweeper Vac (walk-behind; out of class). No CPSC Roomba, Scooba, robotic-mower, pool-robot, companion-robot, or educational-kit numbered page dated January 2005. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly report. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
