Section 3 says:
The ability to convey problem-specific extensions allows more than one problem to be conveyed. For example: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: application/problem+json Content-Language: en { "type": "https://example.net/validation-error", "title": "Your request parameters didn't validate.", "invalid-params": [ { "name": "age", "reason": "must be a positive integer" }, { "name": "color", "reason": "must be 'green', 'red' or 'blue'"} ] }
It should say:

Notes:
The "invalid-params" member in the example is named incorrectly. According to Section 4, it should contain an "_" rather than a "-" in its name:
> If such additional members are defined, their names SHOULD start with
> a letter (ALPHA, as per [RFC5234], Appendix B.1) and SHOULD consist
> of characters from ALPHA, DIGIT ([RFC5234], Appendix B.1), and "_"
> (so that it can be serialized in formats other than JSON), and they
> SHOULD be three characters or longer.
