COMMENTS
If a term has a zero in it, its digit product is 0. Thus it is trivial to include cubes with one or more zeros.
Intersection of A066567, A228187, and A052382.
Is this sequence finite?
Replacing "squares" with "cubes", this sequence would only consist of {4} for n < 10^8. 4 is believed to be the only number to satisfy this property with cubes.
If it exists, a(20) > 10^10.
a(80) > 10^27. - Hiroaki Yamanouchi, Mar 16 2015

EXAMPLE
46692 + 4*6*6*9*2 = 49284 = 222^2 and 46692 - 4*6*6*9*2 = 210^2. So 46692 is a member of this sequence.
PROG
(PARI) for(n=0, 10^7, d=digits(n); p=prod(i=1, #d, d[i]); if(p&&issquare(n-p)&&issquare(n+p), print1(n, ", ")))
