If you shop at Walmart you need to know about a new recall.
Federal regulators at the the U.S. Department of Agriculture say Walmart is recalling nearly 90,000 pounds of beef patties because they may be contaminated with pieces of wood. It's not clear how the wood got into the mix, but the problem was discovered during the production process.
