Corrected entry: Once the countdown to release the poison has been stopped, The Shredder cuts the supports of the tower holding the poison container so that it will fall and release the poison by smashing open. The turtles attempt to support the tower, but in order to save April they fail and the tower falls anyway. Then the movie forgets that the poison exists. The act of the tower falling gets rolled into another action sequence and after it completely smashes to the ground, no poison. The turtles don't even mention it.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Jonathan Liebesman
Starring: Will Arnett, Megan Fox, William Fichtner, Alan Ritchson
Factual error: In 1999 when April is filming inside the research facility, you can see her video camera displaying Bluetooth, which wasn't available in cameras until 2002.
Donatello: Allow me to be the badass for once.
Trivia: Alan Ritchson, who portrays Rafael in this film and the sequel "Out of the Shadows," has stated that the actors portraying the four turtles were mistreated on-set and by the studio. As they were technically portraying animated characters through motion capture, their contracts were reportedly "full of loopholes" that didn't afford them equal treatment with the rest of the live-action cast, despite them being on-set full-time doing grueling work in motion-capture suits. One particular instant included the four turtle actors being kicked off set at the end of a 14-hour day without transportation home, while the rest of the cast and crew were given rides. They also weren't paid overtime like the rest of the crew, were barred from giving interviews despite portraying the titular characters, weren't invited to the premier, and were subsequently denied back-end profit shares from the sequel that they had been promised.
Question: Why would April abandon Splinter and the turtles to the sewers? If they were her pets why abandon them? Why not take them home?
Answer: She was trying to send them away to save them from the experiments. The first place to search if some experimental animals get lost are the houses of the people that are involved.

Correction: The canister containing the poison doesn't smash - in the overhead shot of the tower smashed on the ground with the turtles in it, the canister is still visibly intact.
