Can unopened long-life milk be used after being stored in a fridge that has gone from cold to warm?

Provided that the long-life milk package has not been opened, and it hasn’t exceeded its use-by date, the product will be fine to use.

Long-life, or UHT milk is sold at ambient temperature in the retail environment and so if the product is in a refrigerator that is no longer cold, this will be no different to the ambient shelf environment.  

If the package has not been opened and has not exceeded its use-by date, the product will be fine to use.
