To be honest I've had a few random leaky bottles from a few different manufacturers. I had a similar experience with a bottle (can't recall the make now but I bought it at a pet shop) where Norman's cage ended up soaked. They replaced the bottle with one of the same make and it has been perfect.

I think that it is essential to provide a hamster with at least two sources of water in case just this type of situation arises. Some people provide a bottle and a small bowl, others two bottles, but ensuring that a hamster has an alternative water source in the event of one failing is very important.
