Abstract: Let $K_1,K_2$ be two compact convex sets in $mathitC$. Their Minkowski product is the set $K_1{K}_2=ab:ain{K}_1,bin{K}_2$. We show that the set $K_1{K}_2$ is star-shaped if $K_1$ is a line segment or a circular disk. Examples for $K_1$ and $K_2$ are given so that $K_1$ and $K_2$ are triangles (including interior) and $K_1{K}_2$ is not star-shaped. This gives a negative answer to a conjecture by Puchala et. al concerning the product numerical range in the study of quantum information science. Additional results and open problems are presented.
