## Executive read

### BLUF

February 2009 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.

### 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 February 2009.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** No Health Canada or UK in-class robot-vac, robotic-mower, or toy-robot page dated this month was located.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Automower-class machines are already in EU yards; official silence this month is not empty yards.

### 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. January’s CES Looj copy is out of window and is not re-filed. March is not previewed as Fact.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower or robot-vac action.
2. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff; 500-class is the live US SKU).
3. Any companion / toy-robot official action (CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, UK).
4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = February 2009 only. No CPSC robot-vac / robotic-mower / pool-robot / companion-robot / educational-kit action dated February 2009. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly line. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
