those are the ones that tripped in my home (but only once), interesting all of those about 6 or 7 not any of the others.

If so then maybe Eaton brand is the issue?

By the way the term for this is called "nuisance tripping"

The color of the button could be the common denominator that is easy for the homeowner to see. It might be a run that was done during a certain time period. I read something about older ones having yellow buttons. Glancing through this thread, it seems like the houses having problems were built around the same general time -- unless I missed something.

SECO or warranty or whoever should contact Eaton. Eaton will know.
