Very recently Girardeau and Minguzzi [Phys. Rev. A 79, 033610 (2009)] have studied an impurity in a one-dimensional gas of hard-core bosons. In particular they dealt with the general case where the mass of the impurity is different from the mass of the bosons and the impurity-boson interaction is not necessarily infinitely repulsive. We show that one of their initial steps is unjustified, contradicting known exact results. Their results in the general case apply only actually when the mass of the impurity is infinite.
