Delna,
I don't really know the answer to your question, but it does seem that the FDA is often slow to issue warnings, so I would consider the risk, though small, to be considered very real.
Maybe you can use the second link to report your case directly to Ortho-McNeil, and ask for some updated info from them.
Here are some links:

Hope this helps,
Diane
