Let \(p\) is a prime number. A group \(G\) is said to be residually \(p\)-finite if for each \(1\neq x\in G\) there exists a normal subgroup \(N\) of \(p\)-power index in \(G\) (\(N<_pG\)) such that \(x\notin N\). It is well known that a free product of two finite \(p\)-groups, amalgamating a cyclic subgroup is residually \(p\)-finite [\textit{G. Higman}, J. Algebra 1, 301-305 (1964; Zbl 0246.20015)]. This result has been generalized by \textit{G. Kim} and \textit{J. McCarron} [J. Algebra 162, No. 1, 1-11 (1993; Zbl 0804.20024)] to certain free products of finitely many residually \(p\)-finite groups, amalgamating a cyclic subgroup. The main result of the article under review is the following theorem. Let \(G\) and \(H\) be residually \(p\)-finite groups with subgroups \(C<A<G\) and \(D<B<H\). If, given any \(a\in A\setminus C\), \(g\in G\setminus A\), \(b\in B\setminus D\) and \(h\in H\setminus B\), there exist \(R<_pG\), \(S<_pG\), \(U<_pH\) and \(V<_pH\) such that \(a\notin CR\), \(g\notin AS\), \(b\notin DU\) and \(h\notin BV\), then \(P=\langle G*H; [A,D]\), \([C,B]\rangle\) is residually \(p\)-finite.
