J. Brzdęk [1] characterized Baire measurable solutions \(f\colon X \to K\) of the functional equation \[ f (x + f (x)^n y) = f (x)f (y) \] under the assumption that \(X\) is a Fréchet space over the field \(K\) of real or complex numbers and \(n\) is a positive integer. We prove that his result holds even if \(X\) is a linear topological space over \(K\); i.e. completeness and metrizability are not necessary.
