Products: robot-vacuum. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 31.5/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 100th percentile of 91 consumer robotics companies.
The record contains two entries, an August 2026 FCC action barring new equipment authorization for foreign-made robot vacuums including Dreame's, rated severity 5, and a September 2025 disclosure of camera-related security flaws in Dreame and Ecovacs units, rated severity 2. This produces an index of 31.8 at the 100th percentile within consumer robotics. The dominant concern across both entries is data and device security rather than physical harm, and the record is regulator-driven, anchored by a national import restriction rather than an operational incident. Two entries a year apart indicate a recurring security-scrutiny pattern rather than a single event.
