Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.
Reported — unverified
Still pending independent verification against a primary source.
UpdatedSigns of a NeeDoh Microwave Burn and the Safety Warning
NeeDoh microwave burns are a documented injury: the toy's exterior can feel cool while the heated contents injure a child's thinner skin, and the clinging gel keeps burning after contact, so a mild-looking surface may hide a deeper burn. Parents can learn to recognize the burn at each severity level, understand what the official safety warning says, and apply the critical first response — prompt gel removal and 10–20 minutes of running water — along with the home remedies to avoid and ER red flags.

AI detectors and stylistic hunches alone cannot establish who wrote a suspicious communication. This verification workflow applies a corroboration standard to the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes, where the FBI's documented doubts rest on operational signals and the 'AI-written' label remains attributed commentary.

A docket-level record of AAP v. Kennedy (D. Mass.

Verified via FEC correspondence: the DNC lost $28,860.92 to a scammer posing as Chair Ken Martin in February 2025 and recovered only $7,000 (~24%) despite detecting the fraud within minutes. The risk lesson for legal and finance teams is that post-payment recovery is unreliable — two-person authorization and independent out-of-band verification of wire instructions are the controls that prevent the loss.
