## Executive read

### BLUF

June 2014 is a thin month. SoftBank and Aldebaran unveil Pepper on 5 June as a store-floor and future-sale humanoid; no 2014 consumer-home SKU and no safety action is dated this month. No CPSC, Health Canada, or RAPEX consumer-robot file 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 *safety* action dated June 2014.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** SoftBank’s 5 June 2014 release stations Pepper at Omotesando and Ginza stores from 6 June and states commercial availability in Japan from February 2015. That is B2B / store demo plus a 2015 home-sale promise, not a 2014 consumer-home SKU or safety action.
3. **[Uncertainty]** A later RAPEX page will list a Norwegian market-withdrawal date of 23 June 2014 on Biltema LMR24. That page is a September weekly-report publication and is **not** treated as a June Fact.

### 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. Pepper is a store/B2B unveil with a 2015 sale date and is not numbered. The Biltema RAPEX weekly report is out of window and is not previewed as Fact.

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

---

## Forward indicators

1. Public RAPEX weekly-report publication of any robotic-mower blade alert.
2. Any CPSC / Health Canada robot-vac or STEM-kit battery file.
3. A dated *consumer-home* Pepper SKU or safety action (not a store kiosk).
4. Any official iRobot Roomba recall.
5. Any brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = June 2014 only. **Excluded / killed:** SoftBank–Aldebaran Pepper unveil (5 June; [SoftBank](https://www.softbank.jp/en/corp/group/sbm/news/press/2014/20140605_01/); [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/softbank-mobile-and-aldebaran-unveil-pepper---the-worlds-first-personal-robot-that-reads-emotions-261953751.html)) — no 2014 home SKU, no safety action. Husqvarna gas *push* mower Health Canada copy is July and walk-behind. Biltema A12/1406/14 national-measure date 23/06/2014 appears only on the September RAPEX weekly report and is not filed here. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
