## Executive read

### BLUF

June 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. AIBO ERS-31L pre-order (3 June) and Sony Style street (10 June) are the May catalog landing, not a new trust or safety file.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, RAPEX, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated June 2002.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** Sony’s OPEN-R software-development kit (announced for 3 June download in contemporaneous New Scientist copy) is a programming kit for an already-sold companion, not a safety page, and is not numbered.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** European Trilobite and Auto Mower units, plus AIBO companions, remain in the installed base. Official silence is not empty inventory.

### 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. May’s AIBO ERS-31L catalog is not re-numbered on the June pre-order or Sony Style date. OPEN-R is not a harm or trust-control file.

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

## Forward indicators

1. Any dated U.S. ship of an automatic floor cleaner.
2. Any CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robotic-vacuum or robotic-mower action.
3. Any official Husqvarna Auto Mower safety page (none found through this cutoff).
4. Any dated Sony AIBO trust or safety primary that is not a catalog or SDK page.
5. Any educational-kit or toy-robot battery / fire / laceration file.

> **Collection integrity.** Window = June 2002 only. **Excluded:** AIBO ERS-31L 3 June pre-order / 10 June Sony Style (catalog landing); OPEN-R SDK (not a safety file); 2001 AIBO DMCA / Aibopet.com takedown (a 2001 file, not re-dated). No CPSC robotic-vacuum, robotic-mower, companion-robot, or educational-kit numbered page dated June 2002. No RAPEX robotic-mower weekly report located. No official Auto Mower safety action. No invented Roomba CPSC page. Forum empty. Thin month left thin.
