Thirty-two people died and 435 were sickened, in nineteen states.
All of the illnesses and deaths were caused by a contamination in anti inflammatory steroid shots, most of which were given via the spine.
Seventy-six locations, in twenty-three states, were sent the shots, which were given to as many as fourteen thousand people.
Two different committees are set to hold hearings, on Wednesday and Thursday.
There are various issues facing the committees.
One of the top ones is how the New England Compounding Center, which made the shots, kept running despite issues with contaminates first showing up in 2002.
Government officials will eventually have to be questioned as they could be considered part of a cover up, of the NECC's lack of sterility.
