According to the Associated Press, in the batch that was recalled, there were just 6 cases of severe allergic reaction out of 170,000 doses. However, they expected there to only be about one or two from a batch that size, so they asked doctors to stop using them. A spokesman for Canada's health minister says there doesn't appear to be a major cause for alarm. He says the reports may be a statistical anomaly.

I love it when the news bastardizes something like this to drum up readership/viewership and then facilitates the uninformed to run with the story and gets plastered all over the internet. The article is intentionally ambiguous with its brevity. More fear mongering for more sales - it's grrrrrrrreat!
