This procedure cannot be dangerous, if the hospital specializing in prenatal care is giving it out. I think it's disingenuous to tell potential parents that this procedure is dangerous when medical personnel can do it. Not to mention the technology that is used for 2D and 4D ultrasounds is the same. It's just that the images are collected from more vantage points and imagined into more details.
