How long does it take to be contacted if there is a problem with your donated blood?
It can take months, even years, if you receive any notification at all. The blood collectors have your privacy rights to be concerned with and, given the choice between creating a document that can be used against them in court (if it goes to the wrong home, for example) and doing nothing, they will choose to do nothing. When they receive blood from a non-acceptable source (such as your name being on the list of unqualified donors), they simply dispose of it to avoid problems and embarrassment.
