Probably. I beleive dessicant.com manufactures the bags for Tilia.
Since Tilia has a patent on the bag, Sorbent Systems (dessicant.com)
can't be selling them out the back door.

If somebody (B&Decker) were to come up with a significantly different
design, that would keep the patent lawyers away.

I hate Tilias market monopoly. The bags are overpriced (gotta pay for
all those infomercials somehow). Hopefully the B&D bags (as well as
the system) put a dent in their sales.
