## Executive read

### BLUF

July 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. iRobot’s 12 July Roomba Discovery / Roomba Red page is catalog. CPSC’s 21 July Shivvers / Jazee blade page is a riding-mower accessory, not a robot.

### 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 July 2004.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** iRobot’s 12 July Roomba Discovery line (Discovery about $249 with self-charging Home Base and Dirt Detect; Roomba Red about $149) and Gizmodo’s same-day store note ($250, pre-sold to current owners) are bin, dock, and brush catalog. They do not change a harm or trust path and are not numbered.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** June’s Robosapien shop date is not re-numbered. No official Roomba recall was located.


### 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. June’s Robosapien class-origin file is not re-numbered. iRobot 12 July Discovery / Red and Gizmodo 12 July are catalog. CPSC 21 July Shivvers Manufacturing Jazee / Jazee One grass-collection blower blades (Country Clipper riding mowers; projectile hazard) is out of class.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff).
2. Any official WowWee / CPSC / RAPEX Robosapien safety page.
3. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action.
4. Any RAPEX or CPSC AIBO page.
5. Any dated wet-floor home robot that changes a trust or safety path.
