  A new isomeric state in $^{162}$Tb at 285.5(32) keV was reported by R. Orford
et al. [Phys. Rev. C 102, 011303(R) (2020)] from the Penning-trap mass
measurement. Here we show that this result is not compatible with existing
experimental data. We also demonstrate that the state identified as the
$^{162}$Tb ground state is most likely a contaminant while the mass-excess
value of $^{162}$Tb$^{m}$ is the real ground state.
