Abstract: Using an elementary identity, we prove that for infinitely many polynomials $P(x)inmathbbZ[X]$ of fourth degree, the equation $prodlimit{s}_{k=1}^{n}P(k)=y^2$ has finitely many solutions in $mathbbZ$. We also give an example of a quartic polynomial for which the product of it's first consecutive values is infinitely often a perfect square.
