'Berenstain Bears' Appears To Distance Themselves From Chick-Fil-A Despite Upcoming Kids' Meal Partnership

The family behind one of America's most beloved children's book series is the latest to distance itself from the controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A.

The Berenstain family, whose iconic "Berenstain Bears" stories have been a childhood favorite for over 50 years, said in a statement that an upcoming kids' meal partnership with the Atlanta-based restaurant chain, set to begin next month, is out of their control and solely in the hands of their publishers, HarperCollins.

"This program was in development for over a year," the statement reads. "We were unaware of any controversy involving Chick-fil-A until July 25."

The family then dismissed any further responsibility for the partnership's future, saying they "hope those concerned about this issue will direct their comments toward HarperCollins and Chick-fil-A."
