Abstract: Assume that $ H$ is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field $ k$ and that $ A$ is an $ H$-module algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). We prove that if $ H$ is semisimple and $ A$ is $ H$-semiprime, then $ A\char93 H$ is semiprime. If $ H$ is cosemisimple, we show that the prime radical of $ A$ is $ H$-stable.
