The author obtains extensions of theorems 1 and 2 of the celebrated paper by \textit{P. Erdős} and \textit{J. L. Selfridge} [Ill. J. Math. 19, 292-301 (1975; Zbl 0295.10017)]. Direct consequences of his results on the diophantine equation \[ n(n+ d)\cdots (n+ (k-1)d)= by^l\tag{1} \] are: 1) if \(b= 1\) and \(1\leq d\leq 6\), \(k\geq 3\), \(l\geq 2\), \(n\geq 1\), \(y\geq 1\) with \(\text{gcd}(n,d)= 1\), then (1) has no solution; 2) if \(1\leq d\leq 6\), \(k\geq 4\), \(l\geq 2\), \(n\geq 1\), \(y\geq 1\) with \(\text{gcd}(n,d)= 1\) and the greatest prime divisor of \(b\) does not exceed \(k\), then (1) has no solution, provided the left-hand side of the equation is divisible by a prime exceeding \(k\) in case \(d=1\).
