Aug 14, 2012 at 18:34 comment added Benjamin Steinberg @Jim, M. A. Rieffel, Burnside’s theorem for representations of Hopf algebras, J. Algebra 6 (1967), 123–130 proves the analog for finite dimensional bialgebras. Both Steinberg and Rieffel work over any characteristic because they don't rely on characters. Steinberg really proved his result for semigroups (not necessarily finite). He showed if V is a faithful module for the semigroup S, then the tensor algebra of V is faithful for the semigroup algebra of S. If S is finite one immeiately deduces each irreducible is a constituent of a tensor power.
