"Iconic Nipper Statue at Risk: Safety Concerns Surround Beloved Landmark. The Nipper statue, a beloved symbol of music and art, has stood watch over the iconic His Master's Voice building in New Jersey for decades. However, a recent development has raised serious safety concerns for the iconic landmark. A red placard with a white slash, a warning sign for firefighters and first responders, has been posted on the four-story warehouse beneath the statue, citing potential hazards for those entering the building. As the years-long litigation over the property's ownership comes to a close, questions are being raised about the long-term fate of the Nipper statue and the warehouse it sits atop."
