# Kinematic Risk Consumer Bulletin **LRRK Watch / Open-Source Intelligence** — Signals across consumer systems that sense, move, and act in homes and yards. **Issue type.** Monthly KRCB (calendar reconstruction).

Never Fact without a reputable primary. | ## Executive read ### BLUF December 2016 is a thin month. No official consumer-robot recall, no named injury, no companion-robot first-ship, and no new docket was located in the window. CES 2017 Kuri/Zenbo coverage belongs to January 2017. Jibo’s 2016 miss was filed in November. Cozmo remains a live October SKU without a new December spine. ### Key judgments 1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** A search of CPSC, Health Canada, EU Safety Gate, manufacturer recall pages, and named newsrooms produced no spine-grade consumer kinematic electronics action dated December 2016. 2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** BUDDY’s “Q4 2016” ship promise expired this month without an opened named-newsroom ship story; absence of a ship article is **not** filed as a numbered brick. 3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** Official silence in December is not a finding that yards or nurseries were empty of robotic mowers or Cozmos. ### 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. November’s Jibo no-ship letter, October’s Cozmo ship, and January 2017 Kuri CES unveiling are out of window and are not previewed as Fact. **Forum / community notes.** - none found. --- ## Forward indicators 1. Any 2017 Jibo first-ship named-newsroom story. 2. Mayfield Kuri — do not back-date; contemporaneous product announcement is CES 2017. 3. BUDDY actual ship or refund. 4. Any 2017 CPSC consumer-robot recall. 5. First brand-named robotic-mower pediatric case — none located in 2016. > **Collection integrity.** Window = December 2016 only. **Excluded / killed:** Kuri as a 2016 product announcement; invented CPSC Roomba recall; mower fatality; 2017 Reuters maps; 2018 Pertisau; 2018 Vector; 2019 Anki/Jibo shutdowns; hoverboards; Anki Drive cars; walk-behind mowers. No CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX numbered consumer-robot page dated December 2016 found. Forum empty. Thin month left thin. *LRRK — security assurance for systems that sense, move, and act.*
