I have no idea how they handle such things, but it wouldn't be out of the question I wouldn't think if they also had on hand a small portion of genuinely new products that served as replacement products such as this. They know something like this will happen with "x" amount of product so they save packaging costs, are able to ship them more efficiently, etc. by using a smaller, plain wrapper, so to speak. Not that they are hurting for money, but if they are not doing this then they should be. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a new product.
