Never Fact without a reputable primary. | ## Executive read ### BLUF February 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. The Good Housekeeping Seal is a magazine warranty, not a Commission page. ### Key judgments 1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated February 2003. 2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** iRobot’s 6 February Roomba Good Housekeeping Seal release is a two-year magazine warranty and a performance note. It is not a CPSC, Health Canada, or manufacturer recall and is not numbered. 3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Original Roombas remain at Brookstone, Sharper Image, and Hammacher Schlemmer. iRobot is still private. 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. January’s CES and AMA copy is out of window and is not re-filed. The 6 February Good Housekeeping Seal is warranty marketing and is not numbered. No February CPSC, Health Canada, UK, or manufacturer kinematic page was located. **Forum / community notes.** - none found. --- ## Forward indicators 1. Any CPSC / Health Canada robotic-mower blade, lift-sensor, or foot-access action. 2. Any official iRobot Roomba recall (none found through this cutoff). 3. Any companion / toy-robot official action (CPSC, Health Canada, UK). 4. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file. 5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case. > **Collection integrity.** Window = February 2003 only. **Excluded:** iRobot 6 February Good Housekeeping Seal (magazine warranty / Institute evaluation; $199.95; Brookstone / Sharper Image / Hammacher Schlemmer restock language — catalog, not a harm or sold-trust control). No CPSC Roomba, Trilobite, Automower, AIBO, or educational-kit numbered page. No public RAPEX weekly report exists yet. Forum empty. Thin month left thin. *LRRK — security assurance for systems that sense, move, and act.*
