Why aren’t stuffed animal companies sued for copyright infringement when they use copyright music?

Question by Daphne: Why aren’t stuffed animal companies sued for copyright infringement when they use copyright music?
I’m sure you all know of the stuffed animals where you press the hand on the bear and it plays a song. For example, my boyfriend gave me this bear that plays “Lollipop” by the Chordettes whenever I press its palm.

Since these bears play songs that are copyrighted material, why aren’t these stuffed animal companies being sued for copyright infringement?

It’s just not fair that they allow stuffed animal companies to own these songs without threats of infringement suits and/or heavy fines.

They get permission. Ever seen on the copyright notice it says, “without the expressed written consent…”?
