Sheriff's officials in Bartow County, north of Atlanta, say they're investigating what appeared to be a broken piece of a syringe with the needle intact.
The Daily Tribune News reports that it was found in a pair of brown slippers purchased from the store in December.
A woman reported the case to the sheriff's office Friday, saying her daughter had bought the slippers and later discovered the needle.
No injuries were reported.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokeswoman Dianna Gee has said company officials believe the syringe scare is isolated to its Cartersville store.
