For a class of contractive multivalued maps defined on a complete absolute retract and with closed bounded values, the set of fixed points is proved to be an absolute retract. This result unifies and extends to arbitrary absolute retracts both Theorem 1 by Ricceri [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur. (8) <bold>81</bold> (1987), 283–286] and Theorem 1 by Bressan, Cellina, and Fryszkowski [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. <bold>112</bold> (1991), 413–418].
