My preferred pcb fab (basista) does not complain about copper hairs. They 
just don't guarantee, that the copper snippets will be  present in the 
actual board. 
 
Anyway, I tend to avoid these copper hairs. Usually, I increase the 
polygon clearance with the k-key until the hair is gone. If a generic 
footprint bugs you, you may produce a modified copy and use this one 
instead. For an existing board an ascii search and replace on the *.pcb 
file might be an option.
