As a result of the public attention, the lawsuit says people would show up to the restaurant to taunt the manager.
An investigation found “no criminality” by Shake Shack employees, after three New York police officers were hospital after drinking milkshakes in NYC.Last June, the manager of a Shake Shack was accused of poisoning three New York City Police Department officers after they complained they were "not feeling well" after drinking milkshakes from his store.
The three officers had visited the Lower Manhattan Shake Shack to pick up strawberry, vanilla and cherry shakes. The suit claims the officers ordered their shakes via the mobile applications, and the drinks were waiting for them before they arrived. "Since the orders were placed using a mobile application, and not in person, Mr. Gilliam and the other Shake Shack employees could not have known that police officers had placed the order," the lawsuit said.
But they later reported to their sergeant that Gilliam had put a"toxic substance" they believed to be in bleach in their shakes. The next few hours resulted in the police declaring the store a crime scene and detaining Gilliam and his coworkers, according to the suit.

However, several police unions and organizations quickly shared the news last year that the officers had been poisoned. An NYPD lieutenant emailed the Police Benevolent Association and the Detectives' Endowment Association, claiming the officers had gotten sick from the milkshakes.
