In this paper we are going to prove the following results:

Theorem 1. There exist two bounded hopfian lattices such that their {0,1}- free product is not hopfian.

Theorem 2. There exist two hopfian lattices such that their free product is not hopfian.

In Theorem 2 free product (coproduct, sum) has its usual meaning (see, for instance, [4]); in Theorem 1 we use the usual definition but all lattices are assumed to be bounded (that is, having a least element 0 and largest element 1) and all homomorphisms are assumed to be {0, l}-homomorphisms (that is, homomorphisms preserving 0 and 1).
