HATCHETT, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we discuss the extent to which the manufacturer of a useful product, or any other party, may be liable, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9607(a)(3)), because the party "arranged for" the treatment or disposal of a hazardous substance. We affirm the district court.
