You're partially correct - people were taking them as diet medicine and as energy pills for workouts, and I think high doses can cause respiratory problems. More importantly though, people were mixing them with caffeine in high doses and that was causing heart attacks.
If you stick to the recommend dosage of ephedrine + caffeine you'll be fine, but the government got a little worried (and rightly so, in this case) because nobody ever obeys the recommended dosage on OTC products.
