Hardware Startup, Crowdfunding & Certification Watch

Track shipping a consumer hardware product from a US small team. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: fee, policy, fulfillment and enforcement changes at Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Crowd Supply, Backerkit and Tindie; FCC equipment authorization, UL and ETL listing, CE and UKCA marking, CPSC, Prop 65 and state product rule and fee changes with dates; lithium battery shipping, UN38.3 and carrier rule changes; tariff, component and PCB price moves of 10 percent or more affecting small runs; price, capacity and service changes at JLCPCB, PCBWay, Seeed, MacroFab and major contract manufacturers; hardware accelerator, grant and SBIR windows within 45 days; product liability and recall obligation changes for small makers; crowdfunding enforcement and failed campaign actions; and Amazon, Best Buy and retail listing requirement changes for new devices. Prefer platform pages, the FCC, CPSC, UL, PHMSA, USTR, manufacturer pages, program pages and established hardware reporting; ignore consultant marketing and unverified forum posts. Put the platform, agency or program first in the title with the fee, rule or deadline. Use high severity for a fee change at a top crowdfunding platform, a certification or shipping rule taking effect within 90 days, or a deadline within 14 days for a top program. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
