I'd say they're as safe as anything else you'd buy in a grocery store. But here's the article from snopes.com.

As cheesy as it sounds you should always try to buy produce grown locally. There's no telling how the onions in question became contaminated. By purchasing locally you minimize the number of hands the food has touched.
