It's missing a couple of closing parens, but assuming that the opening
parens describe the situation correctly, the following should work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq s '((#("test" 0 2 (fontified nil org-category "i-contacts")))))
(substring-no-properties (caar s))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The caar gets to the string-with-properties and the
substring-no-properties gets the string, discarding the properties.
