Facts: A manufacturer launches a new lawn mower tractor on the market with two levers located directly next to each other: one is used to raise the mower deck, the other to engage reverse gear. Both levers are the same size, the same color, and inadequately labeled. A user confuses the levers, accidentally engages reverse gear, and drives into a wall, damaging the tractor and slightly injuring the driver.

Question: Is the lawn mower tractor defective?
