## Executive read

### BLUF

No official recall, injury record, published opinion, or new consumer-protection action on consumer kinematic electronics met the monthly bar between 1 and 19 August 2026. July’s FCC listing is still the live communications fact; it is not re-filed here.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A nil filing is a collection result, not a finding that systems were safe. The window is eighteen days, not a month.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Law-firm explainers of DA 26-786 published in August are commentary on a 28 July event. They are not an August signal.
3. **[Assessment — High confidence]** *Gomez v. PetPivot* remained open as of an 17 August 2026 discovery-extension minute. That is housekeeping and is not promoted.

### 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

## Forward indicators

1. Any CPSC / Health Canada / OPSS consumer-robot recall dated 20–31 August 2026 (outside this cutoff).
2. Official DA 26-786 PDF rendered; first DoW Conditional Approval on a household or quadruped SKU.
3. Primary PDF of the claimed 9 July 2026 Allegheny DDL receivership (GD-25-013191).
4. PA AG v. DDL, GD-24-010283 — still no judgment found through this cutoff.
5. First verified 1X NEO consumer-home delivery; Gomez public sensor exhibit; Taylor v. iRobot answer.

> **Collection integrity.** Partial month, cutoff 19 August 2026. CPSC.gov, Health Canada, OPSS/Safety Gate, FCC, and named dockets were searched for consumer robot-vac, mower, pool, litter, companion, educational-kit, and home-humanoid actions dated 1–19 August 2026. No official page that met the bar was found. Walk-behind / ride-on mower files were excluded by class. Official silence is not clearance. This file will be rewritten only if a verified primary dated on or before 19 August 2026 is later placed.
