Given a Riemannian manifold M, and an open interval I⊂ℝ, we characterize nontrivial totally umbilical hypersurfaces of the product M× I -- as well as of warped products I×ωM -- as those which are local graphs built on isoparametric families of totally umbilical hypersurfaces of M. By means of this characterization, we fully extend to \mathbbSn×ℝ and ℍn×ℝ the results by Souam and Toubiana on the classification of totally umbilical hypersurfaces of \mathbbS2×ℝ and ℍ2×ℝ. It is also shown that an analogous classification holds for arbitrary warped products I×ω\mathbbSn and I×ωℍn.
