"be adviswed that the first batch of patches has been recalled, or at least that wis what the local council told me when I went to buy a few more."
Maybe because of the button loop. I thought it looked very flimsy.

I'm assuming it's because of the loop. All 4 of the ones we have in our family, the loop has fallen apart and it's not wearable. I'm glad I caught it before the kids lost theirs. Hoping my Scout Shop will take a trade-in when the new ones arrive.
